I have monthly aggregated table and I want to do month over month calcualtions. How can I achieve that?
I have a date table linked to YearMonth but it is not helping.
I have to pull aggregated data on Month level otherwise the data size becomes too big.
PS: I have other category columns also so there are multiple rows with same YearMonth.
Thanks for helping

Hi @Anonymous ,
if you have a date table it is easier using PREVIOUSMONTH function. However, you can do it with this measure:
MOM % =
VAR _currentMonth = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[YearMonth])
VAR _previousMonth = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[YearMonth]), FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[YearMonth] < _currentMonth))
VAR _previousValue = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]), FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[YearMonth] = _previousMonth))
VAR _currentValue = SUM('Table'[Value])
RETURN
DIVIDE(_currentValue - _previousValue, _previousValue)
Hi @Anonymous ,
You need to have a calendar Table.
I have but it is not working this way.
